Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free to try? ▼
Yes, you can register a new account for free. You are provided a small balance to start so you can scrape a few transcripts or audio files for free.
Does the billing round up on a per minute basis? ▼
No! You are billed on a per second basis and only pay for what you use. Consumption of your balance is never rounded up, and is calculated in our system in increments of 0.001 credits.

How do credits work? How does consumption of my credits work? ▼
Credits are purchased on a pay-as-you-go basis and do not expire. They are consumed by our system on a per use basis when scrapes and prepares metadata, transcripts, audio or video for you to download.

Downloading can be done an unlimited amount of times once the files are in our system.
How do subscriptions work? Are they optional? ▼
Subscriptions are an optional way to discount your consumption. When you subscribe, your credits are consumed at a discounted rate when scraping and preparing files for you.
